Skip the triple bypass and just get the Plain Ol' Vortex w/ cheese; it will save your life, and it's still tasty!
Best Burgers in Atlanta – Been a going to The Vortex since I was 18. You HAVE to try this place!
Have tried most of the menu at least once, and most everything is good and a safe bet. The appetizers are good (the cheese dip will make your mouth bless you). If you get a burger you should definitely order it with tots. I would recommend the Double Coronary Bypass just to at least say you have done it once, but I personally prefer the Yokohama Mama and the Tasmanian Devil Burgers. Attractive staff, good service, chill atmosphere, and great food will keep you returning for more.
I drive 45mins just to go to this place, and have taken many a date here with success. This location is 10x better than the other.
I just didn't get it – Dry bland and nothing special. Maybe I should give them another shot because the first time was terrible.
Great Burger – One of the best burgers I've had anywhere.
I can feel my Arteries clogging just think of it's greatness – This iconic burger joint in the heart of little 5 is a mecca for the burger loving folks around the Atlanta area. Best burger in atlanta hands down is the Double bypass burger with a side of tots. Every gooey bite of this debaucherous will send you into a food induced coma. They have a great beer selection and the Atmosphere is great as is the music selection. Trust me go eat drink and be merry.
crappy service – Although I've been to this Vortex a few times, and in the past have had good service with better-than-average bar food, I had to give only one star due to the recent bad experience I had there.
Two nights ago, I and 5 of my friends attempted to dine in at this establishment. It was around midnight. The hostess led us outside and up a flight of stairs to a small upstairs dining room. The place was literally EMPTY. The people in my party were the only diners there. She led us all the way to the back of the room to one of the larger tables. However, the table was pushed back close to the far wall. So that my friends could easily access the other half of the table (so they could pull out their chairs, comfortably remove their coats, etc.), we moved the table about 3 feet away from the wall. No big deal, right?
The server, a 30-something black dude with braids pulled back, walked out and immediately said, with an extremely disgusted look on his face, "Why did you move the table?" We were all taken aback by his attitude, as we tried to stammer out the fact that we couldn't easily access the 3 chairs on the one side of the table. He rolled his eyes and walked away.
Needless to say, we had suddenly lost our appetites. We walked out. We went to Gladys Knight's Chicken 'n Waffles around the corner and had a great experience with a nice, smiling staff.
With the plethora of dining choices in Atlanta, I find it hard to believe that the Vortex can afford to provide this type of service. Yes, you have good burgers, but if you have jerks delivering them to the tables, then I'd rather go hungry!
Best Burgers EVER!! – Just moving to GA I was excited to finally get the chance to visit the famous Vortex! I was a little upset that my 14 year old son wasn't able to join me since he would have LOVED the awesome enviroment. The place was packed but there wasn't a wait to be seated. They do need expand the building to give more seating, hopefully one day though. Our waitress wasn't very friendly and hardly made an effort to serve my table. My husband ordered the hell burger (I think that's what it was called) and loved it! I was hoping to be brave enough to try the Elvis burger but right before being rushed to order I chickened out and went with the cardic one - which was fantastic! Love the decor of the resturant and the shops around it make it even better. I vow to challenge my comfort zone one day and conquer the mighty Elvis...hopefully next time we'll get a waitress that meets the awesomeness of the food.
Bike night-Great Burgers! – It has been a long time since I have been to this one...been missing their burgers...and bike night...I will definitely be up there tonight...Hopefully I can talk the wife into going too...
Bike Night on Thursdays! – This is a very cool bar and grill in L5P. They hold a bike night every Thursday night in the parking lot that has a huge turnout. Their burgers are awesome along with just about every other thing on the menu. I just wish they applied the same no smoking inside rules as most Georgia restaurants do now.
Best Burgers in Town! – the Vortex never disappoints! If you're a burger junkie and are open to trying something new - check out the Vortex.
Wonder what a burger with peanut butter, fried bananas and bacon on top tastes like? try the Elvis burger! a side of crispy plump tater tots and an enormous selection of beers from around the world will make your day any day of the week.
Why ordering chicken is a better idea. – I have to confess... I never order a burger at the Vortex. And I know, in the Burger Capital of America (Wall St Journal said it, not me) this is one of THE spots for a proper Atlanta hamburger.
But I always sub chicken at the Vortex, specifically with the Big Fat Jerk (now called the Rajin-Cajun) because the burgers are a little bit too big. I wish they'd take a cue from George's and offer two sizes of burgers. Plus my thought is that if I'm going to order something gooey, cheesy, slathered in sauce and difficult to eat.... I would rather it NOT be ground beef. That just makes it into a giant mess that makes holding on to the burger more of a priority than actually eating it.
The array of burger variations--that include the sloppy likes of guac, bananas, teriyaki glaze, chili, pesto sauce, etc--just seem to go better with (gasp) chicken. Regardless on the beef vs veggie vs bison vs chicken debate, I give universal kudos for the best tator tots in the city, and for carrying Magic Hat beer on draft.

I worked at Clearwire full-time for more than a year
Pros – The culture is pretty decent and there is good work/life balance.
Cons – middle-management (and possibly upper management) are idiots, in my opinion. It is impossible to get things done and the top is very closed off. The pay is terrible and you could probably find a much better job than this place.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Nearly a dozen National Guardsmen spent much of Wednesday morning unloading 52 boxes filled with wreaths and placing them in a meeting hall at the Fort McClellan Army National Guard Training Center.
"This is something that is very humbling — something we're very proud to be involved with," said Col. Chuck Keith, a garrison commander at the training center, as he and other National Guardsmen laid out row after row of wreaths.
The local decorations are a part of Wreaths Across America, a nationwide effort to honor deceased veterans during the holidays. The project started in Washington's Arlington National Cemetery in 1992 and has grown to include more than 500 cemeteries throughout the world.
At 11 a.m. on Saturday, military officials at Fort McClellan will hold a brief ceremony at the cemetery to coincide with hundreds of wreath-laying events across the country. Though the national program started 20 years ago, Saturday will mark the second year Fort McClellan's cemetery has been a participating site.
"We're just trying to bring our community together to remember and honor our troops," said Michael Abrams, a member of the local committee that organizes the wreath-laying ceremony.
Abrams said that each year, about 160,000 volunteers throughout the country carry out Wreaths Across America. This year, volunteers helped distribute about 200,000 wreaths.
The decorations come from Worcester Wreath Company in Harrington, Maine. The owner of the company, Morrill Worcester, established the first wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington Cemetery.
The wreaths to be used in the McClellan ceremony were transferred from Maine by Michigan-based trucking company Load 1.
Local police escorted the shipment along Alabama 21 Wednesday morning.
"We got a lot of looks, a lot of thumbs-up," said Load 1 driver Ken Johnson.
Donna Hosford, one of the local volunteers who helped organize the wreaths Wednesday, said she hopes the decorations will let the families of the veterans know that "someone still cares that they gave their life for this country."
Retired Army Maj. Gen. Gerald Watson, head of the local committee, said the public is encouraged to attend the event.
Visitors are asked to enter through Baltzell Gate and to follow the signs directing them to the cemetery.
"We will honor hundreds of veterans and family members who served our nation right here at Fort McClellan," he said in a press release. "We hope there will be a large turnout again this year to help us bring the holiday spirit to the Fort McClellan Military Cemetery."
Saturday's ceremony will include remarks by Anniston Army Depot's Col. Brent Bolander, the depot commander and manager of the McClellan cemetery.
Kim Oliver, a fourth-grade teacher from Jacksonville, said she and at least nine of her family members will attend the event. A wreath will be placed at the grave of her grandfather, Junior C. Johnson, a World War II veteran who died in 1991. According to Oliver, Johnson joined the U.S. Army in 1939, and served in North Africa and the European theater during World War II. Johnson was hit by shrapnel in France in June of 1944 and was awarded the Purple Heart.
Oliver said her family is thankful to all of the people who make the Wreaths Across America ceremony possible.
"It's another way to let people know that our veterans are not forgotten," she said.

The Irish like to label their regions, and "Ireland's Sunny Southeast" is the tag they've applied to counties Wexford, Carlow, Kilkenny, Tipperary, and Waterford.

Little wonder the outdoors-loving Irish have made the Southeast's coast a popular warm-weather vacation destination.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advise against all but essential travel to Andohahela National Park and against all travel on road RN13 between Ambovombe and Ihosy. Take great care and follow local advice if you are travelling in the south east of the country. See Local Travel
The FCO advise against all but essential travel to the national parks of 'Montagne d'Ambre' and 'Ankarana' in northern Madagascar. There have been confirmed reports of armed attacks, including robberies on tourists. See Local Travel
On 25 January 2014 several explosive devices were detonated in the centre of Antananarivo leading to over 50 casualties including one fatality.
There has been continued political instability in Madagascar since the 2009 coup. A second round of elections, intended to return the country to democratic Government, took place on 20 December 2013 and the new President Mr Hery Rajaonarimampianina was inaugurated on 25 January.
The ongoing political situation may have an impact on security, especially in the capital and the bigger regional cities. Meetings and demonstrations can take place at short notice and the risk of public disorder cannot be ruled out. Take great care, particularly at night. See Local travel and Political situation
You should exercise caution throughout Madagascar at all times and avoid crowds. Following rioting on the island of Nosy Be on 2-3 October 2013, which resulted in the deaths of 2 Europeans and a Malagasy man, the situation is now calm. You should be particularly vigilant in the following areas of Nosy Be: Ambatoloaka, Hell-Ville, all beaches, and the road to the airport.
There is a low threat from terrorism. See Terrorism
There is widespread crime in Madagascar. Take particular care on beaches where there have been attacks and robberies. See Crime and Local travel
Visitors to Madagascar should travel with established organisations or travel firms who have the capacity to monitor the local media and warn of possible trouble. Remain vigilant and maintain a low profile while moving around the country, in particular if travelling alone. If travelling independently we advise that you monitor the local media closely and keep abreast of the situation for the duration of your visit. See Local Travel
In 2013 there were around 8,000 British visitors to Madagascar. Most visits are trouble free.
The cyclone season in Madagascar normally runs from November to April. Coastal areas are particularly affected. You should monitor the progress of approaching storms. See Natural Disasters
Piracy is a significant threat in the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean, and has occurred in excess of 1,000 nautical miles from the coast of Somalia. See River and sea travel

Before the start of training camp, the Ravens were looking for a No.2 wide receiver.
And after the preseason opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night, they are still in search of that player.
The Ravens were quite conservative in their offensive approach against the Buccaneers, and quarterback Joe Flacco seemed more content staying with the short passing game than going vertical. The strategy cut down on the number of chances for receivers.

See more photos »
But when there were opportunities, the receivers didn't make the best of them as there were several drops, including one by veteran Jacoby Jones, who started opposite of Torrey Smith. None of the top candidates for the No. 2 spot — Jones, Deonte Thompson and Tandon Doss — gained any separation from the others, and David Reed didn't play because of a groin injury.
Two receivers — LaQuan Williams and Aaron Mellette — stood out in the game and neither is considered a serious candidate to be the Ravens' No. 2. But Williams might have changed a few minds by catching four passes for 32 yards, including a 12-yard touchdown pass from backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor. He also made two big plays on special teams.
Thompson left the locker room after the game with what appeared to be an ankle injury, and that might force the Ravens to explore free agents or the waiver wire for another receiver in the next couple of weeks.
The lack of a No. 2 receiver might not have been a big deal if the Ravens hadn't already lost tight end Dennis Pitta for the season early in training camp with a dislocated hip. At this point — and it's very early in the season — the loss of star receiver Anquan Boldin might be bigger than the Ravens expected.
Offensive line needs time
The offensive line was solid against Tampa Bay, but there might not be a true evaluation until several games into the season.
The Ravens gave Flacco and Taylor ample time to throw against the Buccaneers, but left tackle Bryant McKinnie isn't in game shape yet. The Ravens were also without starting right guard Marshal Yanda, one of their best lineman, even though left guard Kelechi Osemele is just as good.
The key for any line, though, is chemistry and timing, and Yanda probably won't play until the season opener. That wouldn't have made a difference last year with Matt Birk as the starting center, but the Ravens have replaced the retired Birk with second-year player Gino Gradkowski.
He has had very little time working with Yanda and Osemele.
Scary hit on Pierce
Ravens officials held their breath when running back Bernard Pierce took a shot in the knee after scoring on a 20-yard touchdown run in the second quarter.
It was borderline cheap and totally unnecessary because Pierce had already crossed the goal line. More importantly, it was just a preseason game. There was no need for that hit.
Oh, by the way: Great block by guard Ramon Harewood on Buccaneers linebacker Najee Goode to spring Pierce for the touchdown.
Nice style with Taylor
I like what offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell does with Taylor.
Instead of trying to pretend he is a drop-back quarterback, Caldwell puts him in different packages, including the option formation and more sprint-out passes than Flacco.
It makes so much sense.

How can anyone predict the impact the war on terrorism will have on meetings and business travel? "It's like trying to gaze into a crystal ball while it's rolling," is how Laurie Armstrong, spokeswoman for the San Francisco Convention & Visitors Bureau, puts it.
Hit hardest, of course, have been New York and Washington, D.C. "No one knows when people will feel better about traveling," says Jonathan Tisch, president and CEO of New York-based Loews Hotels, in early October. "My gut feeling is that with the holidays coming up, you'll see things start to return to a more normal level."
Like other major New York hotel operators, Loews, which operates four hotels in New York and two in Washington, D.C., is working to ensure a return to whatever "normal" may mean for future meeting business, as well as to minimize losses. "We've established a policy whereby anyone can postpone a meeting scheduled between September 12 and November 30 with no penalty, as long as the event is rescheduled before December 31, 2002. I'd say that's pretty much in the middle of what other hotels are doing," says Charlotte St. Martin, the company's executive vice president of marketing. "So far, more than 50 percent of our meetings that postponed have rescheduled."
There are indications that meetings and business travel are gaining momentum. While New York hotel occupancies dipped radically in the days after September 11, they were back up to 54.6 percent by the end of September. "On the most basic level, business appears to be coming back," reports Mark Lomanno, president of Smith Travel Research. Before 9/11, STR had projected a year-end nationwide occupancy rate of 63.7 percent, which it has since lowered to 60.7 percent — a substantial impact, but, if it holds, not a devastating one.
In Washington, Brian Ullman, director of marketing and communications for the Washington, D.C., Convention and Tourism Corp., reports more meeting dates being rescheduled than canceled. "People are coming in as a patriotic gesture," he says. "We want to see that feeling spread to the meeting industry. There's no time like now and the coming weeks and months to come to Washington to show support and unity."
News is similar in other cities. In Philadelphia, all events scheduled for 2002 are still on — including 27 citywide conventions. In Orlando, more than 60 percent of the groups that canceled right after 9/11 are in discussions about rebooking, according to Orlando CVB President William Peeper.


text: Janell Baum Archives Email Author Post-Election Questions Weigh Heavy On Ag With the farm bill in limbo and budgets under scrutiny, the ag sector has a lot to learn from the election Published on: Nov 15, 2012 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print The farm bill, the "fiscal cliff," taxes and spending represented key concerns from a panel of ag and rural policy stakeholders Wednesday at the Farm Foundation Forum on post-election issues. Panelists discussed a wide range of topics focusing on agriculture, though the main attraction was the path of the farm bill. Panelists Ferd Hoefner, policy director for the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, and Craig Jagger of Legis Consulting tackled the topic from timeline to bill contents. Hoefner speculated that while many farm groups hold out hope for a lame duck bill, the timeline is tight. With a very limited number of working days before 2012 becomes history, Hoefner said the best solution is a five-year bill, though certain factors have to come together to make that happen.PLENTY ON THE PLATE: Legislators have a host of tasks in the lame duck. "Let's be honest and clear that there are a maximum of four weeks available. To [pass a five-year bill] you would need a week for the House floor action, you'd need a good ten days if not two weeks for a very, very speedy farm bill conference and then another week to get the conference reports to the floor," Hoefner said. "Is it theoretically possible? Yes, it's theoretically possible. It would be one of the quickest farm bills in history, but it is conceivable." Hoefner added that in the event of an extension, there are a few items that are on the "must-have" list, specifically development funding and a dairy program. Development funding, which includes organic programs, rural job creation, energy programs and market development efforts, may be most at risk, he said. If an extension option is chosen, Congress will have to explicitly provide funding for such programs. "These are programs that have had mandatory funding in at least one farm bill cycle and in some cases two farm bill cycles, so they are newer programs, smaller programs than the big-ticket items in the farm bill, but incredibly important," Hoefner said. "They're all in a very precarious position right now." Though there is much speculation about which route the bill will take, Jagger said if no action is taken, the new Congress will have procedural responsibilities to handle before getting the bill back to its current state.~~~PAGE_BREAK_HERE~~~ "When the 112th Congress ends, all the legislation that is pending there ends too, so if we don't get a farm fill through by 2013 it's not necessarily starting over, but they do have to go through everything and go thorough any procedural issues that get decided by the committee's leadership," Jagger noted. Many groups have long voiced concern about the lack of action on the farm bill, some even joining the Farm Bill Now coalition, urging the House to bring the bill to the floor. Some have even speculated that the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program is the hang-up for many legislators. Hoefner noted that the apprehension regarding SNAP funding seems to be centered on a few House Republicans. There have also been rumblings of moving SNAP funding into a block grant system, which Hoefner said would eventually turn SNAP into a cyclical program that doesn't "ebb and flow" with the state of the economy. Though some believe SNAP spending is increasing at the expense of farm programs, Hoefner says it doesn't. "There's an assumption, I think, amongst people who promote separating SNAP from the farm bill – that somehow that's going to make the farm part of the farm bill easier to pass. In my opinion, nothing could be further from the truth, in fact, quite the opposite. I think we'd be heading towards the end of farm bills as we know them if we went down that road." Overall, funding and tax concerns have generated a considerable amount of chatter from many ag stakeholders. The "fiscal cliff" – a term used to describe the expiring tax and spending cuts that take effect in January – has been increasingly lumped into farm bill discussion. "Many people think the only way we can get a farm bill is if it is a budget offset for fiscal cliff costs," Jagger notes, but "we still don't know how much deficit reduction will be required." Tax issues this election have also played a key part in the overall view of the farm bill, Jagger says, because estate and income taxes will see huge changes next year, playing into the budgets of producers themselves. Despite the ongoing speculation about the path of the farm bill, the range of factors involved make it nearly impossible to determine a final outcome, Jagger notes, "there's just so much uncertainty here."

Improvement is not seeking excellence
Personal Development & Improvement – March 31, 2009
How we get these Future News Predictions
Find out how these predictions will affect you
Personal development and improvement is not personal development and perfection. Perfection and seeking perfection is never a goal. Perfection is a temporary state of excellence. For example; when an Olympic gymnast performs a perfect 10 routine, or a diver performs a perfect dive. It is an instance of excellence and not something that can be sustained. When you seek improvement it is along your path of improvement. Improvement is a state of being better and that state can be sustained. You must continually strive to be better instead of attempting to be perfect. Improvement starts with repetitious behavior. These repetitious behaviors become habits and the habits support the flow of improvement. Without habits the person trying to improve becomes disgruntled with their results and then compromises. If you compromise or only seek security in your life you have just reacted to life and not controlled your path. Your habits involve a plan and don't just happen. You don't have a clear plan until you can describe your goal in one word.Continue reading »

Clark Conversation, "How Queer is Art History," April 5 at the Clark
For Immediate Release
March 13, 2008
The complex and controversial subject of the relationship between homosexuality, queer theory and queer studies, and the discipline of art history will be discussed at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute on Saturday, April 5, at 5:30 pm, during the Clark Conversation "How Queer is Art History?". Admission to the conversation is free.
In recent years, queer theory has challenged some basic premises of the humanities. A group of scholars who are pioneers of thinking about how sexual identity influences the way people write about art history and the way art is made and understood have met during a two-day colloquium to discuss these topics. This public conversation will be a summary of scholars' findings.
Participating in the conversation are Flavia Rando of Rutgers University; Jonathan Weinberg, artist and art historian; Deborah Bright of Brown University; Terry Castle of the University of Stanford; Jacqueline Francis of the University of Michigan; James Saslow of City University of New York; James Smalls of the University of Maryland, Baltimore; Catherine Lord of the University of California, Irvine; Richard Meyer of Von KleinSmid Center 351; Christopher Reed of Pennsylvania State University and fellow at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Research Center; Anne D'Alleva of the University of Connecticut; Harmony Hammond, Guggenheim fellow, artist, art writer, and independent curator; and Michael Hatt of the University of Warwick.
The Clark is one of the country's foremost art museums, as well as a dynamic center for research and higher education in art history and criticism. It is one of only a few art museums in the U.S. that is also a major research and academic center, with an international fellowship program and regular conferences, symposia, and colloquia, and an important art research library. The Clark, together with Williams College, jointly sponsors one of the nation's leading M.A. programs in art history, which has been part of the professional development of a significant number of directors of art museums, curators, and scholars.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, MA. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm (open daily in July and August). Admission is free November through May. Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and under, members, and students with valid ID. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

The Joint Prehistoric Project
2000–2001 Annual Report
Robert J. Braidwood and Linda S. Braidwood
Asli Özdogan had thought to begin work again at Çayönü, but found this season she once more had to be at the early site near Urfa that is being excavated by the five female instructors of the University of Istanbul Prehistory Department.
Research continues on the Çayönü chipped-stone artifacts under the supervision of Isabella Caneva and her Italian co-workers. The Italians can only come for two short seasons each year, but the two Turkish graduate students, Güner Coskunsu and Çiler Altinbilek are making steady progress on the material. The Prehistoric Project helps this research by supplying modest stipends for the Turkish students.
The study of the animal bones also proceeds under the direction of Hitomi Hongo who comes to Istanbul three or four times a year from her institute in Japan. Richard Meadow also checks the study on his yearly trip to Asia. Gülçin Ilgezdi and Banu Öksüz have made great progress and also received their masters degrees (on red deer and cattle, respectively) from the University of Istanbul. Hitomi and Richard are eager for the girls to receive doctorates abroad, but this unfortunately does not seem feasible from the standpoint of finances and language.
In closing, our many thanks go to all the friends of the Prehistoric Project for their continued support and interest.

Oxford police Chief Bill Partridge said extra officers from his department will be patrolling the city's retail areas as the year's busiest shopping season gets under way the day after Thanksgiving, when retailers typically begin offering special discounts and promotions.
Partridge said the additional staffing on Black Friday has become a common practice in Oxford, recommending that shoppers help officers in their effort to keep everyone safe by following some basic tips:
• Do not leave packages unattended and visible in vehicles while shopping, Partridge said. Often shoppers will hop from one store to another, depositing their purchases in their vehicle between trips. A package left visible inside a car is an unnecessary temptation for would-be thieves, Partridge said. Instead, lock packages in the trunk or carry them home straight away.
• The National Crime Prevention Council recommends that shoppers have car keys in hand before approaching their vehicles, and to check the back seat and around the car before entering. The group also recommends shoppers wait until asked by a cashier before taking out credit cards or checkbooks, to help prevent thieves from retrieving banking information by glancing over a shopper's shoulder.
All those shoppers are expected to give the state's business sector a boost this holiday season. The Alabama Retail Association predicts shoppers will spend at least 4 percent more in November and December than the $8.8 billion spent during the 2011 holiday season.
Based on this year's average monthly sales growth of 4.33 percent, the association estimates that Alabamians will spend $350 million more this holiday season on taxable purchases, or about $9 billion during November and December, said Nancy King Dennis, spokeswoman for the Retail Association.
With all that spending comes the need for retailers to hire. Dennis said that while she does not yet have exact figures for 2012, Alabama retailers are typically always the largest sector hiring during November and December.
"The larger retailers have been hiring. Target has been hiring. Walmart has been hiring. They're hiring about what they did last year or a little more," Dennis said. "… and some of those people will stay on working after the first of the year."
Competition for those seasonal jobs is stiff, Dennis said, as many people, like college students and seniors, are out looking for one of those jobs to make a little money over the holidays.

Memview is a realtime visualization program which shows the memory state of another running program as a graphical image. Memory addresses correspond to pixels in the image, and as memory is accessed, the display will animate to show which parts of the address space are currently being referenced by the program.
nyu is a combination of modern academic approaches to parsing formal grammars from PEGs and expression grammars that represents the new state of the art in parser generators. nyu grammars are written in a powerful language based on PEGs (parsing expression grammars) but with modifications to allow both the AST and the parser to be specified intuitively in a single grammar. nyu outputs parsers that take advantage of the chilon::parser meta-programming library for C++. The generated parsers are almost as concise and readable as the input grammars, yet perform as well as hand-written C code. nyu ASTs are built using tuples, variant types, and lists, and allow self referential parsers and AST nodes to be manipulated. Advanced features such as hashed containers and grammar inheritance are also possible and well tested. nyu is currently powerful enough to deal with complex grammars and bootstraps its own parser.
The Parsing Expression Grammar Template Library (PEGTL) is a C++0x library for creating parsers according to a Parsing Expression Grammar (PEG). Grammars are embedded as regular C++ code, created with template programming (not template meta programming). These hierarchies naturally correspond to the inductive definition of PEGs. The library extends on the subject of PEGs with new expression types, actions that can be attached to grammar rules, and mechanisms to ensure helpful diagnostics in case of parsing errors. PEGs are superficially similar to Context-Free Grammars (CFGs).

Stone Hill Center's First Winter Celebrated with Family Day
For Immediate Release
January 07, 2009
Stone Hill Center's winter wonderland setting at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute will provide the perfect backdrop for fantastic family fun on Sunday, January 25, from 12:30 to 3:30 pm. Help Stone Hill Center celebrate its first winter with dog sledding, snowshoe excursions, snow sculpting, sledding, and a campfire complete with hot chocolate. Activities are free and are weather and snow dependent. Lack of snow will cancel this family day. Visit www.clarkart.edu after January 21 for the latest information in case of cancellation. Admission to the galleries is also free.
Go over the meadow and through the woods by dog sled pulled by friendly Siberian Huskies from the Arctic Paws Dog Sled Team. Meet huskies Snuggles and Willow and their friends, learn the art and history of mushing, and take a turn at controlling the team on short rides on the Clark's grounds.
Explore the woodlands and fields on snowshoes with excursions for all abilities guided by the Williams Outing Club. A limited number of snowshoes will be available free of charge. People are encouraged to bring snowshoes and/or cross-country skis.
After letting that inner artist shine with snow sculpting, work up the courage to go sledding. Bring a sled or borrow one of the Clark's (limited availability). Warm up and top off the afternoon with a campfire complete with free hot chocolate.
This Family Day is supported by funding from the officers and employees of Allen & Company, Inc.
In June 2008, the Clark opened Stone Hill Center, designed by Pritzker Prize–winning architect Tadao Ando. The 32,000-square-foot wood and glass building houses intimately scaled galleries open during the summer, a classroom, and the Williamstown Art Conservation Center. During winter, the building's restrooms, lockers, and water fountain are available to visitors exploring the walking paths and hiking trails on the Clark's campus.
A visit to the Clark is a rewarding family experience year-round with 140 acres of scenic meadows and trails providing ample opportunities for families to cross-country ski, snowshoe, sled, or spot the many birds inhabiting the area. The Clark's grounds are open to the public free of charge. Free admission to the galleries is always offered to children 18 and under and students with valid ID.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, MA. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday 10 am to 5 pm (daily in July and August). Admission is free November through May. Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and under, members, and students with valid ID. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Pietradonice is beautiful in this vintage.

Happy birthday today (Tuesday) to two world record holders from the same country. Athlete A was born 138 years ago today, while athlete B was born 101 years ago.
You will not find athlete A in most world record lists, for the rather simple reason that his career predated the IAAF, but he held the world record in a well-contested event for almost 14 years. A four-time Olympic gold medalist tried to break athlete A's record and failed; the record was eventually broken by a European runner who won silver in one of those four races. Athlete A himself never competed at the Olympics.
You will find athlete B's name in all the usual world record lists, but what they likely won't tell you is how good he was at another event, which sadly for him was not part of the Olympic program. Athlete B did compete at the Olympics once, finishing a disappointing 4th; it was briefly thought he had placed 3rd, but in the end the bronze was given to a European runner with an extraordinarily long career.
The man whose record athlete A broke died young. The man who broke athlete A's record died young. The man who won Olympic gold ahead of athlete B died young. Athlete A died at age 47, while athlete B died at age 66.
Can you name our two birthday boys?

UK Fans Angry Over Cartoon In Lexington Paper; But The Herald-Leader Isn't Nearly As "Negative" As Some Think
May 9th, 2012 02:46 PM║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink
║ Schools: Kentucky
Tags: Jerry Tipton, KSR, NCAA, SEC
Dating back to The Lexington Herald-Leader's involvement in uncovering a major NCAA scandal inside the Kentucky basketball program in the 1980s, many Wildcat fans have viewed UK's hometown paper as being anti-Wildcats. The paper didn't help its cause on that front yesterday.
On Tuesday, The Herald-Leader ran a cartoon poking fun at John Calipari's role in ending the Kentucky-Indiana basketball series. Naturally, the reaction hasn't been great.
The drawing features (as you can see below) Calipari's trophy case. There are two spots "vacated" referring to the Final Four seasons that were wiped away at UMass and Memphis. There's a large NCAA championship trophy — complete with two dollar signs on it. And there's another trophy marked "Lose At IU, Take My Ball And Go Home Award."
I gotta say, that's a bit rough for a local paper. Not the Indiana part or even the vacated banners part, but the dollar signs on the trophy. The cartoonist — Joel Pett — says those dollar signs were a statement about the money-driven NCAA, not Kentucky. Here's guessing most Cat fans won't buy that argument, but we'll take him at his word.
Pett told WTVQ-TV in Lexington that "everyday he tries to draw about something that angers him." The end of the UK-IU series angered him because he is a Bloomington native, his father was a professor at Indiana, and Pett himself went to school there.
Look, there's nothing wrong with poking a little fun at sacred cows, even if those cows happen to reside in a nearby field. The Lexington Herald-Leader should cover Kentucky. It shouldn't worship Kentucky (as many fans would wish).
Sites like KentuckySportsRadio.com took immediate issue with the cartoon and the paper. Perhaps unwisely, Pett also decided to call into their radio show today. (Full disclosure: I've been on with those guys, too, and while we've never met, KSR's Matt Jones is a Middlesboro, Kentucky native like myself. I like them and I often laugh at their hugely-successful site.)
Here's the problem I've got with them today, though. While fans and fansites like KSR are outraged when someone flings a barb at their team, they see nothing wrong with doing the exact same thing to someone else. Example: Today they posted a cartoon mimicking Pett's style that takes aim at Rick Pitino's trophy case.
Oh, now that's funny. The Herald-Leader's attempt at humor? Obviously those dirty, ol', egg-sucking mules are just a bunch of hacks.
Here's the irony. As someone who reads every local paper across the SEC on a daily basis and does so without any team to root for… I can say that most SEC papers are very fair in their reporting. Fans almost never see it that way, but I can think of only one paper in the SEC that repeatedly seems to be either out to help or out to hurt Hometown U. (That would be The Gainesville Sun, by the way, and the only time you're likely to find something negative there is if the Gators lose and the writers are angry about it.) The Herald-Leader is home to Jerry Tipton — who Cat fans view as the devil incarnate — but it's also home to John Clay. Clay is quite often pro-Kentucky in his stance (though he surely got some heat this week for not gobbling up Calipari's nonsense about "nontraditional" scheduling).
Overall, as an outsider with no dog — or cat — in the fight, I would actually list The Herald-Leader as being one of the more positive papers in the SEC when it comes to covering their local basketball team. They also happen to cover the hell out of that team to boot.
But again, I don't have an agenda. If you have an agenda as a reader, you're going to perceive an agenda in the words of a writer, whether one actually exists or not. Trust me, I've been called a lover and a hater of every program in the SEC and I can't figure out how the heck that's possible.
Across the league, most SEC hometown papers are viewed as being too harsh, too critical and too negative toward the local heroes. In reality, most of them produce tons of coverage and attempt to do so in an objective fashion.
The Herald-Leader probably went a little overboard with yesterday's Calipari cartoon, yes. But I've got news for Kentucky fans, as an outsider looking in, your local paper is nowhere near as negative as you believe it to be. Then again, when you compare it to fansites like KSR that revel in talking up the Cats and beating down everyone else — even ex-coaches who brought Kentucky great success in the '90s — there's no way an objective paper can appear as anything but negative.
